    So the takeaway is that if Google doesn't give up on tablets again within the next 12 months, the gen 2 version of this device will be pretty sweet.

      The reason why the majority of hardware vendors don’t make tablets, is because they don’t sell well. And the reason they don’t sell well is the poor support from 3rd party apps who adjust to the screen size.

      Guys, there are a ton of software features marques missed, (maybe because he hates google? 😒), anyway, you can connect your google phone (or any phone that uses chromecast) to it so you can transfer your content to the tablet seamlessly.
      And since the tablet has native chrome cast support, you can cast your tablet content to anything else that uses chromecast (like a tv)!

      Only issue is unlike apple, there are many manufacturers using the android platforms which results in different hardware designs, port placement etc. But this is why I appreciate Google making their own android devices. I feel Google is the best choice for a true, pure apple competitive eco system. I appreciate what Samsung does, but it's still a skin over the google/android platform.

    Instead of comparing it to other tablets, I think it should basically be viewed as the ultimate Nest Hub Super Max. They currently have a Nest Hub, Nest Hub Max, and this version does all the same things with no limits. Does nearly everything a Hub Max can do, but you can take it anywhere in the house with you and continue whatever it was you started using voice controls while on the dock. Great idea!

    being able to cast to the tablet is actually potentially really cool depending on a few particulars of how it's implemented. We don't have a fancy car with screens in the back, so ability to set this up as a display in the back and then put on a movie for the kids on long road trips without having to constantly be reaching back there to adjust the volume (and then unlock it after they've accidentally locked it instead of turning the volume up) or picking out a different movie when they're done: GOLD
    (Addendum: I realize this would require a wifi connection. For this we would either have a phone or mobile hotspot as the wifi connection as this is what we do now for streaming)

    • @swirbster

    • @uponpaul
      @uponpaul 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +14

      I am quite sure that that use case wouldn't work as you think. Cast devices normally don't make their own hotspot/networks. So they use an already exisiting network to be available on. So inside of the house or on wifi it all works, but probably is not castable when in transit or outside. This could be 'hacked' by creating your own hotspot but I think that will drain and isn't easily accessible for everyone.

    I had a Pixel C (the first pixel tablet by google, based on pure android 7 then 8, back in 2015), and it was amazing for the time ! tegra x1 (same processor that the switch), great screen (2k ltps), a magnetic keyboard without any pins (only bluethooth). The only drawbacks were the lack of support (the gpu driver was nouveau driver, which were BAD, real bad) and google being google, so removing the widewine L1 support of the tablet. From what i understood at time, it was partially due to the jalibreak of the switch : the tablet was used to find ways of circumventing the security of the tegra x1 processor, and so it was not that secure after the release of the switch and the massive amount of tech to crack the console. Without that, i think I would be using it nowadays. It was such a great product.

    I know you mentioned you wouldn't use the cast feature but we found it really useful. Like I'll be listening to music or watching one of your videos in one room on my phone and then I'll cast it towards the nearest hub screen while I work on something else. And my mom straight up casts Netflix on it while she cooks hahah. Super nifty.

  • @Chris173972
    @Chris173972 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +189

      @@AHOBOINTEXAS You’re not wrong haha. Home theater enthusiasts are certainly one of the smallest subsets of the tablet market. But Androids flexibility makes it ideal for such a use case. A faster processor wouldn’t be much of a factor because the apps for Control4, Denon, Marantz, Yamaha, and the like are all very light. The iPad would certainly be capable. But being able to do things like setting an android tablet to multitask 3-4 apps at the same time upon unlock would be the killer feature here.

    Main complaint: The fact that the dock is not it's own stand alone Google Hub is a bit of a deal breaker for me. I was looking to replace my kitchen Google Home with this. but I don't want to lose the ability to play music in the kitchen if I was to pick up the tablet to use it.
    Second complaint: Wish there was a wall mount option. Would be awesome to mount this on the wall in a room to display things like calendars and grocery lists.

    I had a Nexus 10 back in the day. I loved that thing, but ultimately wore out the flash chip from flashing custom ROMs so much. Believe it or not, Google DID have a very worthy successor to this, the Pixel C, which is what I have now. It's quite old, but still holds up damn well, rocking the same SOC that the Nintendo Switch would eventually use. Why then was the Pixel C a flop? Because they tried to take on the Surface Pro with it, which is a completely different product. It cannot compete. But as an Android tablet, it's amazing! And the keyboard was super innovative in its design, something I wish Google or anyone else would carry forward to newer tablets. Interestingly it attaches via strong magnets similar to how the new Pixel Tablet connects to its dock. (It also allows it to stick to a fridge or a car)

    So the reason it's a google cast target is so you can add it to groups. I just figured this out.
    I have my Chomecast playing music on a "group" that includes my two stereos and a bluetooth speaker. I set the Pixel dock in the hallway to control everything and set it as a target, included it in the group, and now the hallway has "filler" music between the two stereos. Plus, I can hear what I'm casting. It works really well.

    The biggest advantage to a home docking station/tablet from google is the ability to manage smart home devices and the ability to display google information from your phone to the docking station (i.e. calendars and reminders). Also to handoff information from the docking station to the phone when leaving the house (i.e. Google home what is the traffic like going to work) telling and showing you route and traffic info on the home dock then automatically sending that query to your google maps… on ANY phone that has google home and google maps downloaded, installed, and signed in to the SAME google account on the home docking display.

    I think the biggest thing is that the table's screen is made to be in landscape mode, instead of the portrait mode, which means tiny laptops and handheld laptops and handheld console-like PCs can use that screen instead of dealing with installing things in portrait mode and then rotating the screen to be in landscape mode in the OS.
